Stream It From The Mountain: Mini Meltdowns – S/T EP

Mini Meltdowns is a new garage-punk trio led by Nashville-by-way-of-Milwaukee
drummer Jonny Phillip who has played for the Benjamins, Limbeck, Berwanger,
Trapper Scheopp, Tommy Stinson, and Paul Collins over the years.In addition to drumming for Mini Meltdowns,
Phillip shares vocal and guitar duties with Michelle Sullivan, also of
Sherbert, and they are joined by former Promise Ring and current Dashboard
Confessional bassist, Scott Schoenbeck.

Together the trio creates a fun and energetic fusion
of fuzzy power-pop and bouncy punk rock on their 4-song self-titled debut EP
which is out tomorrow on Good Land Records. Standout tracks include “Hospital” - led by
Sullivan - a sneering yet self-depreciating smashing of mental illness and the
Phillip-led fuzzed-out surf punk anthem, “Number On Me”.
